Rofl kurt just rambled in his sleep about knowing that im blogging from the intensity of my eyes like a trapped animal trying to blog hahah
grrr his space bar is dodgy its slowing me down =.= So im here BECAUSE we went to hotdamn last night =] first time in about 7 months CRAZY there was a time we went every week i think my longest streak was 5 weeks lol WHERE did that money come from =S I almost didnt go tonight since i didnt have enough cash but kurt kindly payed for my entry <3 lol hes watching figureskating...i havent seen anything of the winter olympics. I dont like watching sport BORING anywho
Last night was odd, b4 midnight me kurt had pretty much decided it was the last time we would ever go but it got reallly fun towards the end. IM HUNGRY but i dont wanna say anything lol. SOOO hmm sum up? got there WAY early never been there that early probably contributed to the shitness. we were told its gotten hard to get in lately..so ehh. we were in the oddly empty band space chatting with ryan n vb and then went upstairs because the bands interpretation of music sounded more like a cat being skinned alive while attempting to play the electric guitar. Upstairs was dead, music was foreign =[ I felt out of touch..but to b honest, thats probably a good thing, the side fridnges, teased hair and identical tats were making me cringe for ever thinking they looked good. Went for a walk with kurt, went back in, went for another walk, met up with kate, then me kurt lahood and heaps others werent let back in which waskinda annoying since we payed...they reached capacity =.=
*mummies of the way*
so me n kurt hung out in hungry jacks till they let people back in, then it slowly get better, as the crowd thinned the music got fun to dance to ^.^ and we were with harb which is always fun ^.^ n his crew
left around 4.30 went maccas got to kurts around 7.30 lol
So one day I was hanging out with Kurt and we realised that there are some pretty wacky sayings in the spanish language.
Each Spanish speaking country has their own sayings, metaphors and similies but these are a few that I have collected over the last year or so.
Every time I hear my mum or grandma say a new one I text Kurt XD It has become somewhat of a little tradition for me now =]
Saying: La negrita astuta vende fruta.
Direct Translation: The (Astute, cunning, sly, crafty, fraudulent) cute/little black girl sells fruit.
Meaning: This saying is said as a sort of warning that you are/someone else is a cocktease
Saying: No calientes el agua (si no vas a tomar té)
Direct Translation: Don't heat the water if you're not going to drink tea
Meaning: This is also a sort of warning to someone who is being a cocktease. Kind of like, don't flirt and lead someone on if you have no intention of hooking up with them. It is also a play on words because in Spanish (Chilean at least) the word calentar (to heat) is also used informally as a way to say 'make horny'. So 'estoy caliente' = I'm hot BUT it means I'm horny. If you wanted to say I'm hot (because of the weather) you would say 'tengo calor'
Tongue Twister: Tres tristes tigres trigo trillaron tranquilos tragaron
Translation: Three sad tigers, wheat they threshed (To separate the grain from the straw or husks by mechanical beating), calmly they swallowed.
Tongue Twister:Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira pobre pintor portugués pinta paisajes por poca plata para pasar por París
Translation: Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira poor Portugese painter paints landscapes for little money to pass through Paris.
Saying:Buscarle la quinta pata al gato
Direct Translation:To look for the 5th leg of the cat
Meaning: Looking for problems when there clearly aren't any in that situation, so you're over thinking it and overcomplicating yourself.
Saying: Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas
Direct Translation: To be beautiful you have to see stars
Meaning: I'm guessing this is a fairly old saying because my grandad said it to me once, I kind of fell in love with this little rhyme/mantra. It means that no pain is too great to endure in order to look your best, this particularly refers to women having to wear painful shoes (stilettos) because it makes their legs look hot, wearing tight clothing to show off curves, waxing, plucking, dying hair, and I suppose nowadays you could extend that into getting cosmetic surgery. Just to clarify, my grandad wasn't a dick, I remember the saying coming up because we were watching a show with really attractive women and I was in awe of them and he explained that constructed superficial beauty comes at a price =) Oh and if you don't get the imagery, it's based on seeing "stars" when you hit your head/get dizzy, like if you've ever seen the cartoon representation of stars around the head when they get hit.
*To be continued
